GDPR applies to organisations within the EU, as well as all those that handle personal data of EU citizens. If your organisation's core activities require regular and systematic monitoring of individuals on a large scale - like tracking an individual's behaviour on the internet - you must appoint a Data Protection Officer.
Cut the risk of prosecution in the event of a data breach - breaches of EU regulations by multinationals could result in fines of £20 million or 4% of worldwide gross turnover.
